I'm not referring so much to Arendt as the notion that there there are 
mutually exclusive spaces in one's life (i.e. the pragmatic idea of living 
one way in your private life and differently in the public sphere). Can we 
separate Foucault's private sexual values from the values that he writes 
about. It seems naive to say that Foucault's sexuality is automatically 
separated from his public discourse. I'm certainly not sure what connection 
there is, but I can't automatically rule it out. F's experience with 
psychiatry helped to shape his attitude towards "madness" and their 
"treatment."
